Several people at my office have been cut off and will be spending the night here.
The CBD is being evacuated, and I'm about to head back to my apartment incase the valley gets hit and I'm cut off. I only live 3 blocks away but there are some low lying roads in between here and there.
My apartment is on the top floor of the building so my main concern is what will happen to my car, as it's parked in the 2nd basement of the building..going to see if I can park it up on a hill somewhere!
- Just get your boogie board and go home! lol Let me know if you need help with you car!numero1

We've been lucky to dodge the worst of it here in the Gold Coast, but everyone I know in Brissy is trapped. Hope you're all ok.
Have you guys still got power?

Yeah I'm located about 100m on the hill from the official evacuation centre at the showgrounds so I've still got all my utilities running :) our main concern is that the drains could back up and flood the car park, however unless the river rose another 10m, I doubt we'd have actual flooding here.
We just noticed all the luxury car dealerships parked all their cars in the multi-storey car park just next to us too. All these shiny brand new mercs, bmw's & audi's without number plates now fill the entire thing!
I just got off the phone to the cops too - saw some guys running along the train station roof with what looked like a generator and some boxes, kicked the car park security lattice in then spun off in a white ute...looked very dodge! I saw on the news just then there's been some reports of looting too, people are just pathetic sometimes..

Just read this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-…A quote from Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale:
"If I find anybody looting in our city, they will be used as flood markers,"Hope the water levels ease for you guys soon!

Numero stock up on food. Are your farm lands affected? What about shipping?
